    starter question

    I just remember being a poor high school and tech school student, and we always put on AZ remans and it just seems like anything back in the 90's very early 2000's, anything AZ reman to branded was going to fail with in the warranty period. I just dont want to be under the truck again for a...

    starter question

    It engages, its slow, and then stops. Kinda of like if you only had 9 volts. You dont even get a full crank because the voltage isnt enough to keep the start engaged. I tried one more time after the smoke and as of now, everything still works, so maybe the smoke was very very short... fingers...

    starter question

    So I go to get in the truck and drive it for the first time to work today, and the starter went. The truck runs rich at idle (im working on this) and it died twice. On third time, it engages the starter and stops like voltage is low. I check the gauge with key on and I have 12+ volts. Hit it...

    Good headlights

    I was going to suggest this. Get headlight relay kits. Get sealed beam conversion headlights. Then either put in 9012 lights or 4500k HID's. (you dont have to get blue HID's. Just get a kit that is 3500-5000k)

    First big toolbox

    Sometimes I miss working in the shop. I dont miss the paychecks or political shop BS. That is one thing I do not miss... is it that hard to ask? And if so, why do you have troubles asking?

    Polyurethane bushings on a 4wd daily driver

    I had bigger valves and from what I was told was a first series MagicStick 3 cam. We think the specs were .609 .603 246 239 on a 113 and later on a 4800 stall and 0 vibrations.... from the transmission mount. Haha.

    First big toolbox

    That is one of the reasons I quit being a tech. Haha. Sweet box. I always admire a nice tool box... just, I have owned nice cars for less than tool box prices.

    Polyurethane bushings on a 4wd daily driver

    yeah.... so where it bolts to the piece of metal and that bolts up to the cross member, there are two humps. They needed to be ground the F off. I dont know why, but on the 4th gens, they created a horrible ride by letting you feel every drive train vibration. Basically, it needed to be a flat...

    Hate on this lil sum beech

    I had a buddy that had a factory turbo Dodge Omni. Since it was basically a concept car, it couldnt be registered, so it was a drag car. Every time we ran it, I would laugh at people laughing at it. Like Charlie Murphy on the Chappelle skit about Prince. "Challenge him to basketball! I dare...

    Polyurethane bushings on a 4wd daily driver

    On your trans am... did you grind off the bumps? If you didnt, that was your issue. I had the red in mine and it took me grinding three times till it was correct.

    lowering components for sale...

    Well, I thought that I was going to go 2/4 but the more I read, it sounds like I can do 3/5 or even 4/6 and still run 20's. Did you have any issues with alignment with 3" coils? Im really debating this and convincing the accountant.

    lowering components for sale...

    hmmmm.... so Im trying to find info fast, but the flip, does that make it a 5" drop. Like if I just wanted the coils and the filp, that would be 3/5?

    Anyone running 20x9 with 275's in the front

    you can run 275 on a 9....... depending on the tire. All tires are different. My trans am had 275's from the factory.

    wheels and 2/4 drop

    Or... I have found JD Wheels makes replica rallys. In a 20 they come by 8 and 9.5 with 4.5 and 5.25 backspacing.... is that too much backspacing ?

    wheels and 2/4 drop

    And if I am reading this correctly, the factory wheel was either a 7 or 7.5 with 0 offset, or backspacing of 4 or 4.25 inches depending if it is a 7 or 7.5 inch wheel.... is this correct? A quick search, of eBay, it looks like a staged set of 20's comes in 8 and 10 in and ET of 0 and 6. Does...

    wheels and 2/4 drop

    Ok. I have been looking into it a lot lately. Im going to buy the wheels and tires I want and put them on the truck. Take out the stupid front spring spacers the PO put on the truck and then lower it 2/4. I want to put 20's on without having to cut, bend, or weld anything. So I have read that...

    Can I rebuild it?

    No too much with your story but not too far off. My ls6 trans am had a fuel injector leaking, no code, started it up one feb. morning and it chucked the rod. Had a buddy make a deal. He welds for a living. He offered to weld the block up for free but if it could not be used, he would get the...

    speedo questions

    And at least you know what you have done. The PO of the truck has done a lot of shite work. And I dont think it was him, I think it was the PPO. (previous previous owner). The guy I bought it from only had the truck for 2 or 3 months. The nice thing about Texas and getting the title is you can...

    speedo questions

    Well... looks like I have some work to do. The speedo cable needs to be replaced anyways and I planned on putting 20's on that were closer to the stock size. So I need to make sure that the rear end hasnt been changed, then I guess I can check the gear colors, assuming thats an end all be all to...

    How is 700r4 lock up controlled in a 1984?

    This does not have a toggle. I guess I have to get the tach on asap so I can verify a lot of things. And perhaps get on the creeper and trace wiring. Thanks y'all!
